What is your ocean temperature?

What do you see wrong? Florida looks right and the Gulf of Mexico heats up like bath water.

A hurricane in California even in an el nino year with temps in the upper 70's or low 80's would be unlikely. Thankfully due to the upper prevailing winds, hurricanes that actually make it that far north head north west away from land and into colder water or go east far south of California. One might think that a tropical depression or storm would be beneficial to dry conditions. Just imagine if a tropical storm dumped 5 inches throughout most of southern California. The soil would in no way be prepared to absorb the rain which would result in floods. The mountains hugging the coast east of LA and SD would also create problems. The mountains would act as a sponge and squeeze out even more water. That water would head for the coast and the high population areas.

It would also be interesting if a hurricane made it up the gulf of California. The water temps out there are well into the 80's even at the far north regions. If a Hurricane's eye continued over water in the gulf heading north and brought torrential rains to the deserts, it would result in serious floods.

the water in the mar de cortez can be 35C - 96F in the summer.

this of some hurricanes and tropical storms in the mar de cortez going to the hot desert of arizona and east california, already happen many times:

Hi,

The Northsea temperature along the coast from the netherlands are between the 20-21C/68-69.8F.

The waters more inland, like the more closest water to me is between the 25-26C/77-78.8F.

At the white spot is where I am.

Was in Seattle Wednesday and Thursday and stuck my foot in the water on East side of Seattle island, not sure what its called, and had a direct view of Bellevue and was surprised. At the end of Madison ST? (if you know the area) The temp outside was around 85F with 45% humidity. The water temperature must have been around 70F. Probably because it was on the east side protected from freezing cold pacific. Does anybody have any data on water temps in and around Seattle area? Also does anybody know the temps in the Bay area, the actual bay? Thanks.

It's informative to see the difference in ocean temps. The cool California current is why our palms grow so slow! Today's readings posted by the NODC: LA - 68.4F\ San Diego - 69.3F http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/dsdt/cwtg/spac.html don't reflect how the ocean temps have dropped this week due to a relatively speaking cold airmass overhead. Santa Monica beach: 64F\ La Jolla: 66F.

Warm ocean temps signify humidity & overnight heat [ingredients necessary for subtropical palms to thrive].

Checking water temperatures and saw 92F at Naples-Oct.9, 2009. I would say that is a little toasty!
